im currently busy with a slideshow using flash professional 8 and the images and the text are coming from an external xml.

• there is a bar at the bottom with a caption which is a button and this must slide in from the bottom each time a new image loads loads from the xml without the user mousing over the flash
so my biggest problem now is too get the dynamic text to move with the bar cos as soon as i put dymamic text in the button it wont show when i publish it?
please help me have been stuck with this minor problem that is turning out to be a big problem for like 2 days straight now lol
i might be losing it pretty soon:p

you need to embed fonts.

Just one note: if you choose to embed the font it may increase the filesize significantly depending on what characters you want to embed. Also how are you coding the dynamic text? If you don't need it to tween alpha or anything like that (basically just movement) you can find a class for animating movie clips and manipulate it from there.
